I agree Breaking Bad is the only TV show made in the last 10 years worth watching

That's crazy talk.  We're living in a golden age of binge watching (and I've never owned a TV, just a Full HD laptop and good headphones).

Yes, there was a very long drought of good (or even tolerable) American shows, with only South Park remaining watchable.  But now we have GoT, Last Man On Earth, Walking Dead, Man In The High Castle, Marco Polo, Major Lazer, Rick & Morty, and our own excellent version of Shameless.  Plus the guilty pleasure of gold mining reality TV.   

Meanwhile, the UK has provided gobs of fantastic entertainment.  Ideal.  Utopia.  Hinterland.  Broadchurch.  Peaky Blinders.  (Original) Shameless.  Wolf Hall.  Doctor Who.  Mighty Boosh.  Nighty Night.  Outnumbered.  Life On Mars.  Black Mirror.  Nathan Barley.  Posh Nosh.  Mitchell & Webb.  Peep Show.  Would I Lie To You?  IT Crowd.  Psychoville.  The League of Gentlemen.  The Game.  Sherlock.  Jekyll.  Look Around You.  Secret Diary of a Call Girl.  Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (LOL).

That's only the must-see blockbuster "you are doing life wrong if you miss these" short list.  Lots of one-off gems including Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, Dead Set, Hunderby, Not Going Out (Season One), The Trip, and Dirk Gently out there as well.

Don't get me started on engrossing documentaries such as Cold War Hot Jets, Joanna Lumley's Greece (and Trans-Siberian Express), A Year In Burgundy, etc.

You need a tracker invite?   

Back on topic, I don't see any whales dumping.  No market sells over 0.1% of mainbody emission (18.4k XMR) as we're drifting lower on low volume.  Yawn.  We'll go back up when volume returns. 

In this secular bear market, 200k is still looking like the new 100k.

The Official GUI is being written.  Emission drops lower with every block.  RingCT and multisig are being planned.  People are starting to find out how much they want/need fungibility and how ring sigs are currently the only proven way to get there.

Couldn't you have said all of that a year ago???

GUI funding is a recent development.  RingCT and multisig are also recent.  Higher public awareness of fungibility and ring sigs is a new trend as well, thanks to Chainalysis, ChainAnchor, bootlicking Coinbase shitlords, and Gmax|CT.

Even block reward subsidies were much higher a year ago.

So no, I could not have (truthfully and accurately) said all that a year ago.  But thanks for asking!  

EDIT: And a year ago there was no ETH leading the altcoin sector with up to ~half of Bitcoin's daily volume.   

[slapper]

The real question is when will Polo dump XMR and start ETH markets. It(is) (is)it true? ^TM

No, it couldn't.

Focused work on the GUI was suspended in 2014-2015 in order to focus on improving the internals and reducing the memory requirements to a level that could actually run reasonably on a desktop, which was released as 0.9.0 on January 1, 2016. Some issues in 0.9.0 then needed to be addressed leading to 0.9.1-0.9.4 (early ones were more critical).

Of course, the in-progress GUI was available as open-source on github since 2014, and anyone could have contributed to it should they have wanted to work on it (or pay someone to work on it), but no one did.

The current GUI funding was initiated February 10, 2016 with a proposal from a developer who had a good balance between affordability and qualifications, but limited available time for the first few months. It is still in progress.

It was already noted that the cryptography for RingCT and multisig are more recent work.

Hold it for a year.
If it doesn't rise, then hold it for another year.
In the meantime, it might go down some.

Not the answer you were looking for, I guess...

Maybe someone already posted this, but it s worth of mention twice.

Monero mention as only altcoin being used as a main coin beside Bitcoin for first decentralized exchange Bitsquare.io.

Can be possible in half year to a year timeline.

I've got many Monero which I bought at almost $1.50 each, so is it time to just sell them off and have some loss or time to even buy more, and increase the number? They are really cheap right now, like $0.95.

No one really knows man.. Been following this thread for a long time. By far most ppl are long term hodlers and dont care about short term price moves. Generally ppl that try to make a quick buck off xmr usually get burned

I bought my first monero at $2.5. I have been buying  here and there, up and down, left and right. The result is had I sold at $1.5 during this high I would have doubled my investment.

Crosspost from reddit:

Introducing Monero Wallet for Chrome (beta), a new browser extension that connects with simplewallet to send and receive Monero from the browser!

-"Monero has a new Wallet GUI See comment inside for details!"

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/monero-wallet-for-google/bddoeeocbnbkdlciahimmaciiiiadocb

Interact with a local Monero Simplewallet via the Chrome or Chromium browser!

• Monitor your wallet's balance
• Send and receive XMR
• Create integrated payment addresses
• Check incoming payment information
• Store contacts' addresses and information
• Make fast payments to Monero URIs found in open browser tabs (you can test this out on the Monero Development Team's donations page or on the donations button on the extension's Settings page!)

Monero Wallet for Chrome can be installed from the Chrome Store or from it's Github repository. This extension is not a full wallet, but rather is an interface to Monero's official command line wallet. As such, it is important to note that this wallet does not store any sensitive information about your wallet (view key, seed, etc), though you can use this wallet to view these pieces of information.
Note: For the extension to work, you need to have an instance of simplewallet running in "RPC Mode" on the same computer as your browser. On installation, a Getting Started dialog will help you set up simplewallet to talk to the extension. In addition to the dialog, I have developed scripts for OS X and Linux to aid in this setup, and plan to add one for Windows soon™. In short, you should launch simplewallet with the following flags in order to use the extension:

Code:

--rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-bind-port 18082

You can use this extension with any simplewallet wallet that already exists, or make a brand new one. You just need to "refresh" a new wallet once to make sure it is synced before connecting it to simplewallet.
Please, please, please give feedback if you have any! I've tried to make this as user friendly as possible, but it is still in beta, and does require a small bit of work up front setting up simplewallet. Until all of the functionality of simplewallet can be incorporated into the browser/extension, this wallet will require simplewallet to be run in parallel to the extension. I hope to announce a contest for voting on a set of wallet icons soon. Let me know what you think of the current logo, and if you have an idea for a new logo feel free to start designing one! More to come regarding this in the coming weeks. Finally, a huge thanks to /u/dEBRUYNE_1, /u/gingeropolous, and /u/dnale0r for their help testing the extension. Also a big thanks to /u/smooth_xmr, /u/moneromooo, and many more of the core team and other contributors for their help, advice, and support as I worked toward getting this together.

You might have to hold on to it for some months but you will be able to sell with a gain.  Many things in the works.

That's really cool! A step closer to real user-friendliness, pre-fab bat files are a must for windows.

MAAM #14 Monero Ask Anything Monday

You might have to hold on to it for some months but you will be able to sell with a gain.  Many things in the works.

XMR has now resumed its "unofficial" 1:10 peg to ETH, I think there has to be a rational explanation for this, beyond market forces and invisible hand.

Leicester recently won the EPL championship despite 5000:1 odds, for some reason I suddenly thought about XMR.
What would William Hill offer as bettings odds for XMR reaching a certain price point in 2016?

Regardless, many here are basing their hopes on XMR replicating the performance of BTC in its early years.
One cannot just expect the future to be like the past, based on a statistical sample size of just 1.
BTC may very well be a one-off phenomenon, never to be repeated again.

Will XMR ever have a fairy-tale ending, just like Leicester?
Stay tuned, in 31 Dec 2020.
